These are some sketches from last month's observations in Negev Desert in Israel (as usual ) ..
The conditions were not bad, though not perfect due to some dust. I was focusing mostly on nebulae (since I could use my ultrablock filter on them, which really helped).
The telescope I used was my Orion skyview pro 8" newtonian.
It was our monthly starparty, with ~10 telescopes around.

On the attached file: M52 and the bubble nebula.
To be honest I couldn't see the "bubble" itself even using a 12.5" dob with various filters. however the brightest part of the nebula was easily visible, alone with the M52 open cluster in same field of view.

I love the faint/subtle outer extents of the nebulae - so delicately rendered.

I've looked for the bubble nebula before but never long/hard enough to find it. People have said it wasn't visible (at all), though I'll try again at our dark site.

Hello,

The bubble definately showed nebulocity around the bright star. however I wasn't able to see the thin extensions of the nebula which should form the "bubble". (I think it should be observed with relatively high power, and larger aperture).

I remember seeing a sketch, somewere in internet, showing these extensions and part of the "bubble".
